We’ve just turned around and started heading south as we’ve just accepted our first professional sailing positions.

I was called up yesterday by an owner who had received our CVs from UKSA’s careers department. He needed replacement crew to work with him and his wife running a large 82’ (25m) Baltic Maxi sailing yacht for the rest of the med season.

The crew of Magdalus are on constant 24 hour standby waiting for a call from their owners wanting to be picked up to come out to the boat. We were therefore ready to leave if they had to go to work suddenly.

Fortunately the owners didn’t call and we were invited to join the crew for the evening.

What an amazing change the last couple of days has been. We finally met up with our friends who work on the superyacht Magdalus Terzo.

For the past week we’ve been heading north up through the last few of Croatia’s islands into the notorious Velebetski Kanal. Today we had a break in the weather so headed out early from Krk harbour and motored then sailed around the Krk island into the Kanal in the lee of the huge Velebet mountains.

Adrian – the Geek

I guess I'm the geek! I try to make the best use of technology whenever possible and try to keep up to date with the latest tech both on and off the water. I'll be writing reviews, news and stories about the boat, equipment and our sailing.

Jax – the Girl

Though it may be a life on the ocean wave for me, I don’t see that I need to be unglamorous or forego all nice things. For me it’s about finding a way to incorporate a bit of style in our lives alongside all of the necessary practicality and technology - and to try to keep the geekery under control ;-)
